Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Sept. 25th

Cramer started off by saying that it's important to buy stocks that will bounce back the hardest.
CBRL Group (CBRL): operator of the iconic Cracker Barrel restaurant chain. Cramer believes that the company is in a good position after revamping their menus and buying back a ton of stock. They had the biggest buyback in percentage of shares outstanding of any company at 54% over the past year. Cramer is crazy about the buyback.
He then took a couple of calls: One caller asked about Brinker International (EAT), which Cramer doesn't like at all. Another caller asked about Wendy's (WEN) and Cramer said don't even look at Wendy's. He suggested that he get in McDonald's (MCD) instead because it is best of breed.
Yesterday, Cramer discussed how Best Buy is leveraging their growth by expanding international. Tuesday he discussed Textron Inc. (TXT). He feels that its Cessna unit will have large worldwide demand in the upcoming years. Honeywell (HON), a company that has been very successful at forecasting the aircraft business, predicts record sales of business jets, Cessna's "bread and butter." Cramer said the rest of the world will soon surpass America in business jet sales, which makes Textron a solid business-jet play.
Before Cramer started the Lightning Round, he recommended that holders of Baidu.com (BIDU) and Focus Media (FMCN) take some profits off the table. The holders of these stocks should sell half their holdings.
In the next segment, Cramer talked about a defense stock that was booted from the NYSE, but will profit from the new defense budget. The stock is Navistar (NAVZ.PK). Cramer also likes Cummins (CMI) and PACCAR (PCAR) in this sector, but Navistar has a lower multiple.
Next, Cramer had John Dioniso, the CEO of AECOM (ACM) on the phone. Cramer has been recommending the stock, and the company has been delivering profits so far. In his opinion, Cramer thinks Aecom is "money in the bank."
Sudden Death:
Brookfield Asset Management (BAM): "Keep buying!"
Spartan Motors (SPAR): No, buy Navistar (NAVZ.PK) instead.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Dec. 21

Jones Soda (NASDAQ: JSDA - News), National Beverage (AMEX: FIZ - News) and Hansen Natural (NASDAQ: HANS - News)
Hansen Natural "ran out of fizz last summer," says Cramer, who now likes Jones Soda since it is "just beginning to run." Although the stock has been doing well, it is not too late to buy, and Cramer says he would pick some up on Monday afternoon after Thursday's buyers throw it back. Jones is a "relatively unknown stock" and the two analysts who cover Jones give it a "neutral" rating, but Cramer thinks that the company will have 100% earnings-per-share growth by next year thanks to the fact that retailers like Jones for its high premiums. Cramer thinks that Jones is a good regional to national story and has a "cultlike following" which is growing. Finally, Jones' winning deal with National Beverage will save Jones money. Cramer likes this company because it not only knows how to make a good soda, it also knows how to distribute its product.
Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD - News)
Since Riverbed has climbed 80% since Cramer's recommendation in October, he suggests investors ring the register a bit, but to hold their position. The company "has a product that saves businesses a lot of money on their bandwidth costs and infrastructure costs," and while it is not a "hot" stock, since of the nine analysts that cover it, there are six holds and three buys, Cramer believes "they will be pressured to change their view." He predicts Riverbed will earn 25 cents a share as its market grows and comments that it has a 90% win rate with its WAN contracts. In addition, the company has beaten its estimates every quarter since its IPO.
Sell Block: Federated Department Stores (NYSE: FD - News), Activision (NASDAQ: ATVI - News), Gmarket (NASDAQ: GMKT - News), Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN - News), HealthSouth (NYSE: HLS - News)
Cramer regrets having recommended FD and says that it is a sell. Since ATVI is up 7%, he would ring the register. Cramer would take a "schnitzel," or sell a portion of a stock while retaining a position, on Gmarket, since it is up 20%, but "under no circumstances" should anyone buy Nuance, since it is moving into speech recognition, and Cramer does not think this is a good business. HealthSouth which is selling off its divisions to fund its core business is "selling off its winners to fund its loser," and Cramer would get rid of the stock.

CEO Interview: Douglas Brooks of Brinker International (NYSE: EAT - News)
When asked if people should be worried about his company, Douglas Brooks replied, "It has been a tough macroeconomic environment," Brooks responded. "But what we've tried to emphasize is innovation ... and we've been trying to work on value." He went on to discuss the company's share buyback program, its dividend increase, and new restaurants opening nationally and internationally. Cramer says that Brinker has a "limited" downside and would buy the stock.
